\u2018I never thought that, at over 60, I\u2019d enjoy learning so much again. I feel completely at ease in the PLL Spanish course \u2013 we laugh a lot, and our teacher adapts to our pace. Now I even have the confidence to speak to the locals when I\u2019m on holiday!\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2018During my school days, which are now some time behind me, I didn\u2019t have much exposure to foreign languages. Last year, despite my initial scepticism, I managed to learn the grammar well, and I really enjoy the conversation.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The history of Progressive Language Learning AG<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why do some international teams run smoothly, whilst others fall apart due to misunderstandings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This question has been on my mind ever since I started my career. Having grown up in the bilingual canton of Fribourg, I moved between French and German from an early age and experienced first-hand how language can facilitate \u2013 or hinder \u2013 collaboration. A lengthy stay in the USA later on not only improved my English but also deepened my understanding of different working and communication cultures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whilst working at the national Erasmus agency, it finally dawned on me just how much of an impact language has on integration, collaboration and professional development. I saw first-hand how targeted language skills bring teams together, strengthen international collaboration and drive businesses forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our company-specific learning approach is based on these experiences. It is consistently geared towards day-to-day working life and the real-world requirements of businesses. In this way, employees develop their language skills in English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Swiss German in a practical, structured manner and precisely where they are actually needed in their day-to-day work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
